Surprisingly the orders I have been discerning with have been teaching orders! Yikes! God definitely has something planned with the nursing career...who knows what! Right now I am spending quality time with the School Sisters of Christ the King. (Yay to Allie and Liz who enter on September 8th!!!) It has been a confusing/difficult discernment with studying nursing and being pulled towards the teaching orders, but I am at peace and am excited to see what God has in store for me! In the meantime school is my "vocation" and it is tough! Haha!

Welcome Therese!! I am also a nursing student but feel pulled to a teaching order. God is really mysterious isn't he? lol. I hope you have a good time on phatmass and find it helpful!

Nice to see another "discerner" from the KC area! There is a new order (well canonically new that is) in the Kansas City diocese. The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. They just moved into the convent by St. Pius X High School and are an amazing order! They are there for about 2 more years until they can build a new monastery out in the St. Joseph area. You can go and pray/recreate with them, or make a week long retreat. They are awesome! There are 14 Sisters and 2 postulants and they are all really young. Here is the website that you must look at. www.oblatesofmary.com.
